Suantou Elementary School

Suantou Elementary School was approved for founding on February 24, 1911, with classes beginning on April 15, 1911, at Yong'an Temple, with 139 male and 8 female students — one of the earliest schools established in the area during the Japanese colonial era, originally named "Suantou Public School." The original school building was damaged by a typhoon in 1912, requiring temporary relocation, and a senior/upper division was added in 1936, with a reinforced-concrete school building completed the same year. Renamed several times after the war, the school adopted its current name in 1968 under Taiwan's nine-year compulsory education reform, and has continuously operated for over a century as "the earliest-established and most populous elementary school in Liujiao Township," having served as the "mother school" that spawned numerous branch schools across the township, including what became Liumei, Liujiao, and Wannei elementary schools.

蒜頭國小於明治44年（1911年）2月24日獲准設校，同年4月15日於永安宮開課，計有男學生139人、女學生8人，是當地日治時期最早設立的學校之一，原名「蒜頭公學校」。原校舍於1912年遭颱風損毀，一度遷校上課；1936年增設高等科，同年完成鋼筋混凝土校舍。戰後歷經多次更名，於民國57年（1968年）九年國教實施後定名為蒜頭國小，持續辦學逾百年，堪稱「六腳鄉最早設立及學生最多的國小」，也是孕育六美、六腳、灣內等多所分校的「母校」。
